A startup race between `decnet bus` being ready and the API's lifespan
hitting `get_app_bus()` at api.py:135 would set `_tried = True`
permanently, poisoning the singleton for the rest of the process: the
dashboard shows BUS OFFLINE, topology SSE falls into the bus-is-None
snapshot-only branch, mutator publish calls no-op. Only an API
restart recovered.
Replaces the one-shot veto with a time-gated retry keyed on a
`_last_failure_ts` monotonic timestamp plus a 2 s backoff. Publishers
on the hot path still pay at most one connect attempt every 2 s when
the bus is down, but the singleton auto-recovers within 5 s (one
dashboard poll) once the bus comes up.
The asyncio lock still serialises concurrent callers so the bus server
doesn't get stampeded with parallel connect attempts on startup.
Wire the mutator and web API into the service bus so live-topology
edits flow sub-second from enqueue to UI:
- Mutator publishes every state transition on the bus (mutation.applying
/applied/failed + topology.status). Fire-and-forget; DB stays source
of truth.
- Mutator watch loop subscribes to topology.*.mutation.enqueued and
wakes early via asyncio.Event — the 10s poll becomes a fallback
heartbeat, not the primary dispatch trigger.
- POST /topologies/{id}/mutations publishes mutation.enqueued after
the DB write succeeds.
- New GET /topologies/{id}/events SSE route: snapshot on connect
(status + in-flight mutations), live forwards topology.{id}.>
bus events, 15s keepalive. ?token= auth mirrors /stream.
- New decnet/bus/app.py — process-wide lazy bus singleton for the
API, closed cleanly on lifespan shutdown.
